Husband Doting Wife: Emperor Gu's Shameless Perfect Bride Chapter 29
Advertisement
Xiao Ai and Lifen briskly walked to Xu Nings ward after they heard that the nurses and doctors were giving her a grand closing.
Truly Xu Ning deserved it. She had been in the hospital for more than a year now, though only Xiao Ai knew Xu Ning was just faking it. Now that Cheng Che was detained in the military she was as free as a birds wing only if she wanted to stay away from her gang.
When they got to the ward, they realised that people from both Psychiatry and Psychology were present. Even Yusheng who was from general surgery was present.
He and Xu Ning were conversing like old friends. Recently, during the few days that Xiao Ai was absent, she heard gossip that Yusheng and Xu Ning were a bit closer than usual. Xiao Ai casted a knowing glance at Lifen who had a look of indifference on her face. As they attempted to walk towards the sea of nurses and doctors in the room, Xiao Ai teased Lifen.
"Looks like Yusheng and Xu Ning are a bit close. I heard gossip that they are close friends. What do you think?"
Lifen threw a chip in her mouth as she altered her steps and stared at the dou who were laughing and talking back and forth.
"I know right. They seem closer than usual but then Yusheng as always been an easy person to befriend if you have a good heart and Xu Ning isn't boring either. "
Xiao Ai felt that Lifen wasn't getting her hint, so she pressed further.
"Say Lifen, do you think they are compatible?"
Lifen thought for a while munching her chip and walking forward.
"They do look compatible. Would be nice if Yusheng can get himself a girl, that way he will stop bothering me." she scrunched her face up a but as though she just recalled something." Looking for me all the time when he wants to gossip. So annoying. " she paused and turned back to look at Xiao Ai." Do you know, the other day he came to my apartment with drinks and he actually dared to get drunk. After that he was so clingy. Clinging onto me here and there, I had no choice but to let the idiot stay over. So annoying."
Xiao Ai felt like beating Lifen up. Why was she so dumb?
Couldn't she tell that Yusheng liked her?
As far she knew, Yusheng had liked Lifen since there University days in City Z, but Lifen being the idiot she was never noticed leaving Yusheng in the best friend zone.
"Psychologist Mo and Psychiatrist Long is here... you two.. your friendship makes one jealous." a particular Chief head Psychiatrist Zhao said teasing the two inseparable friends.
Xiao Ai chuckled and looked over at Lifen who was already poking Xu Ning and talking to her.
"Well...there's nothing I can do. A particular quack keeps clinging to me. As the nice person I am, I just have to put up with her. No big deal" she boasted adjusting her hair and not daring to look at Lifen.

Lifen who had just been denied:"..."
Who's the quack?
Everyone in the room had an amused smile on their face. This two...the way they conversed with each other made ones heart warm up.
"Miss Xu, thank you for your very quick recovery. Please refrain from coming here again as a patient."
"Well said psychologist Mo, but I think Miss Xu should come visit frequently if she has the time." Yusheng added gently patting Xu Nings shoulder.
Baozhai present saw this and smirked to herself, before Xiao Ai could speak she quickly spoke.
"I have to say the chemistry between Surgeon and Miss Xu is really great. You two will make a beautiful couple together."
"I think so too. Surgeon Yusheng takes good care of Miss Xu. Their scene is so heartwarming. "
Seeing another nurse agree, some nurses and doctors gave her a warning look not to say things like that.
They all knew Baozhai was simply trying to look for trouble with the two friends.
Yushengs hand that was over Xu Nings shoulders suddenly froze when he heard what Baozhai and the nurse had said. Awkwardly he retracted his hands and looked towards Lifen who was still trying to the gather the remnants of her chips.
His jaw tightened as he glared at the idiot whom everyone was indirectly talking about but didn't know.
When will she be aware of his feelings?
"You are mistaken. Miss Xu and I just happen to have similar interests and likes that's all." he quickly added staring at Xiao Ai for support.
"Yes...yes..he is right. Nothing more." Xiao Ai felt her coat for the chips she poured inside.
Yusheng resisted the urge to face palm himself. Xiao was much worse than a tree shouldn't she be taking his side right now.
"Similar interests and likes...doesn't that make you two a perfect couple? Who wants to play matchmaker? I bet that within the next two weeks, they will be a couple." The nurse who had spoken the other time added again.
"Nurse Lim, why don't you go over and check on Miss Xis vitals also change the dressing for Mr Fu and Mrs Fu." Yusheng was the one who spoke up glaring at the nurse Lim.
She was a nurse under him but why was she making things difficult for him? Was she as dumb as Lifen.
Nurse Lim who knew she was being punished walked away with heavy feet.
What had she done wrong?
Didn't he like Miss Xu?
After the blabber mouth nurse left, everyone's gaze suddenly landed on Lifen who was still battling with the nylon of chips.
Lifen saw that everyone was staring at her with a weird look so she smiled awkwardly.
"Well..i too think they would make a great couple. Xiao Ai and I was just talking about that weren't we? If Yusheng gets a girlfriend, he would stop sleeping over at my place drunk. He's so annoying sometimes. So clingy. Besides.." she placed a warm palm stained with chips on his shoulder" whoever the girl is that gets to be with foolish you...I give you my blessings bro." she finished in the tone of a parent sending her foolish child off.

Everyone:"..." Bro. He just got bro zoned.
She just bro zoned him. Wasn't this worse than the best friend zone?
Yusheng who saw that Lifen had upgraded him to the mighty bro zone, suddenly became angry.
He shrugged her hands off as he spoke in an angry tone.
"You..Long Lifen who's your brother? Are you a bitch why we would I be your brother?" he quickly stomped off leaving Lifen surprised.
Lifen too who had a short temper stomped after him...
"Who wants you to be their brother? Shouldn't you be glad instead? I have lots of brothers ok?" she shouted.
"Then go find them. Don't place me in your brother zone."
"You..do you dare to say it to my face?"
"Yes..i dare to..what..."
Their shouting voices fades away as everyone stared at the door and then at Xu Ning who hadn't said a word since.
Xu Ning simply gave a warm smile as she closed her small bag.
Soon, it was just Xiao Ai and Xu Ning in the room.
"Yusheng must like Lifen a lot."
"Yes he does. I have known him since I was little. We attended the same elementary and high school. We even did our masters together which was how he met my stupid Lifen so I know to what extent he likes her. At first I was worried he had a crush on me but..." Xiao Ai trailed off staring out of the window.
Xu Ning snorted." You think the whole world revolves around you, don't you?"
"Of course it does." she paused for a while before humming a song and then spoke. " You still won't tell me about the history of her?"
"Am surprised you haven't forced it out of me." Xu Ning jested eyeing Xiao Ai.
Rolling her eyes she spoke in a lazy tone. "What do you all take me for seriously? Do you even have a place to stay or are you going back to the gang?"
"Am not that poor you know. Am a woman from the future who woke up in this body."
Xiao Ai nodded remembering in that she was a top assassin.
"Sigh...we might not be able to talk much. As much as I know you will miss me..." she teased.
"Why? Are you going somewhere? I think I will still be around for a while."
"I will be taking a case soon and I have to work with a criminal Psychologist and Lifen. That's just how complicated and dangerous the case is."
Xu Ning thought for a while before glancing at Xiao Ai and adjusting herself on the bed.
"Is it a girl?"
"Yes..how did you know?"
"Just a hunch I got." she replied her mind flashing back to the history.
The case of this girl would cost Xiao Ai a lot.
It was truly dangerous.
At Gu Corporation...
Bolin walked in to see that his brothers office had almost been turned upside down. His office was the same. Those tax people....
Digging a hole for themselves...
"Brother, I brought what you asked." he called seeing his brother was staring out of the huge window.
Gu Bojing let out a shaky breath as he slowly spoke
" I can see her from here."
Bolin was about to ask who when he saw the tall building of Care Medical Centre.
Did he love her that much.
The building was so far away yet he could see her.
Gu Bojing finally turned around and inspected the papers Bolin had brought.
Just as he had expected, some old idiots were already doing shady business.
"How's the stock market?"
"Not pleasant. Our shares are drastically dropping. Am afraid those old geezers will soon start selling their shares."
" Hmnm...if they want to sell it then secretly buy it. Don't give any clues away. We will release this once the tax evasion reveals there plans. "
Bolin nodded and secretly studied his brother who was lost in his thoughts again.
He had become so wise over the span of few years.
Was it all for her?
Meanwhile, Xiao Ai who was poor had a deflated mood seeing her bank account balance.
She was still thinking of ways to earn money, when her mind flashed to the black card she took from Si Meng. She was yet to return it plus the money she borrowed.
"Sigh...my life is so difficult."
She had choices to make.
One she could put aside her pride which was practically non-existence and decide to take money from the Mo family but she had already boasted to her sister years back that she would never come to the family for money.
That was when she strongly decided to go to Russia. Her sister would be back in the country soon, so she couldn't take from the family lest her sister think she's still not capable.
Two, she could take from her husband but she was an independent free woman who was totally against the idea of relying on a man for survival even if the man was her husband.
Three, she could con her stupid brother in law but that would only make her more shameless. She had stolen enough from him already.
Or four....Xiao Ai smirked as she let out a evil laughter earning weird looks from her colleagues in the room.
She still had the Gorgeous women association.
How hard can it be....
